Lumines II

Falling blocks and groovy tunes are even more mesmerizing the second time around

About the only complaints to level against Lumines II, apart from the absence of wishlist features like downloadable skins and an Infrastructure multiplayer mode, are the brief pauses in play as new videos are loaded, and subjective bitching about the choice of tunes. Getting thrown off your rhythm is kind of a pain, and you're guaranteed to violently loathe at least one song, but even these gripes could be chalked up to the computer's quest to tweak your concentration. On the road, or at home in bed, Lumines II is the top of the PSP's puzzler pops. If you're looking for a game to keep you busy on a long plane ride, this is it.

  • No infrastructure mode? Dammit!
